Your Chakras directly link to Your Energy, more correctly they are made of it!
Chakra is the widely accepted ancient term that we still use today and at its simplest level it describes the motion of the energy at certain points around the body, more specifically where two or more energy streams meet.
The Ancient Mystics ‘saw’ these energy centers and named them Chakras, as they likened the motion to that of a turning wheel or a spinning disc. There is a slight variation in positioning but by and large we tend to work with the Major Seven Chakras, though there are many more.
These main seven Chakras are located along the length of the spine, if you imagine the human body stood upright, the first Chakra or Base Chakra is located at the base of the spine. The Sacral Chakra is next in the lower ‘belly’ area, below the navel, the Solar Plexus rests just above the navel area.
Then we come to the Heart Chakra, which is located as the name suggests around the heart. The Throat Chakra is next and then we move on to the chakras of the head.
Most people have heard of this next Chakra or more precisely of its’ name; the ‘Third Eye’ which sits in the mid forehead region. Last but by no means least, is the Crown Chakra which rests at the very top of your head.
These energy centers are not just facing forwards, they affect both front and back and around the area – So the Throat Chakra for example does not just relate to the throat but also to the neck.
Actually they are 3 dimensional. Imagine they are a bit like miniature suns with rays of energy coming from them in all directions. The suns’ rays radiate out in all directions, all the way around, well so it is with the Chakras.
They are even more diverse than that as they not only radiate out energy but they take it in too.
Although you cannot see them with the naked eye and most people can’t touch or feel them you can become much more aware of them. I firmly believe it is an advantage to be more aware of your Chakra energy, especially when you realize how it links with not just your physical body but your emotions and mental activity too. I haven’t even started on the links to your inner self, your spirit and your soul!
Just because the term was used thousands of years ago does not mean that it does not relate to you and I today – it does! It has been discovered in our relatively recent history that each of the seven main Chakras just ‘so happens’ to coincide with an area of the body with a major nerve plexus and can also be linked to specific endocrine glands.
Without getting too technical your endocrine glands are responsible for secreting your hormones directly into your bloodstream. The hormones are often called ‘chemical messengers’ and are vitally important to your every day functioning and growth.
Each of the seven Chakras has an individual color attributed to it. This is not by chance or random choice as each color is proven to have its own frequency and the colors attributed to the Chakras correspond with the vibration of the energy center itself.
After all, energy is all about frequency, vibration, resonance; whether that is in pulses or waves. The Colors of the Chakras are;
The Base Chakra is Red The Sacral Chakra is Orange The Solar Plexus Chakra is Yellow The Heart Chakra is Green The Throat Chakra is blue The Third Eye Chakra is Indigo The Crown Chakra is Violet.
Each of the Chakras also has its’ own associations with your physical health, your psychological wellbeing, even character traits and personality types. They hold a wealth of information that you no doubt are currently not consciously aware of!
